Why do you keep putting "DIE" in your posts, Tevar?
Oh.... and might I say that Lange/Norman is bad at characterization as well as everything else? I found an excerpt from his tenth book, and during it a recently-abducted girl from Earth is brought before Tarl and there is a part where he has her watch a Gorean slave girl dancing. Now, this girl should have been hysterical and terrified, but all she really did was comment on the slave girl's "sensuality"! I had to roll my eyes at that.
And the fact that these fuckers have no problem with kidnapping people to enslave them.... UURGH.

Who here thinks that the only proper death for Tarl Cabot is to be slain by a woman he's violated?

I have had the misfortune to read several Gor books - much in the same way one looks at car crashes - this is my revenge. More to come

Not surprising. Given that his plot premises are silly, his dialogues insipid and his writing style rambling and repetitive - I don't expect anything but substandard drivel from Norman.Steve wrote:Oh.... and might I say that Lange/Norman is bad at characterization as well as everything else?

Anyone want to estimate the human population of Gor and percentage slaves for me?

I think 10% of the male population are slaves. I've read that on a fansite.NecronLord wrote:Anyone want to estimate the human population of Gor and percentage slaves for me?
The slavery percentage among the females is probably much bigger.

The female slave population is only about 13-5%; only about 1 in 40 women are of the "pleasure slave" variety, and the common female slaves are of about the same number as the male work slaves, albeit a bit higher for domestic purposes; it is, however, slightly higher in some other districts (the female slave population). Altogether the slave population of Gor is about 12-3% of the total population.Simon H.Johansen wrote:I think 10% of the male population are slaves.

The rest of the women, the other 85% or so, just live like women did in Afghanistan under the Taliban, except with the added constant fear of ending up as sex slaves. *snorts* Real enlightened and natural, yes...

BTW, Marina, how do you know so much about the abomination that is Gor? It's quite a mystery to me, since you probably are the last person to voluntarily read a Gor novel.

Still, I'd not call them a cult.. too many diverse members spread out, with little to no collaberation between them. Unless you count Internet fantasies...

Well, I do know, thanks to that tidbit you gave me via Nitram.... wait, did he ask you about my need for a Gorean female name, Tevar? Or did he forget?
According to Norman, there are two common Gorean names for a slave girl: Tala or Tela.
But the worst name that you could give a slave is a recognizably EARTH name (Betty, Susan, Cathy, etc). Why? Because an Earth Woman was supposed to be the sluttiest slaves around, once trained properly.
